Raymarine A80579 Chart Plotter Power Cable

Keep your Axiom XL chart plotter running smoothly on every voyage with the essential Raymarine A80579 power cable. Designed specifically for marine enthusiasts who demand unwavering reliability, this cable delivers stable power to your navigation system, ensuring you stay connected to critical charts, sonar data, and radar overlays even in rough seas. Unlike generic cables that might falter under saltwater exposure or vibration, the A80579 stands out with its tailored engineering for Raymarine's high-end displays.

Why the Right Power Cable Matters for Your Chart Plotter

In the demanding world of boating, a chart plotter isn't just a screen—it's your lifeline for safe navigation. Power interruptions can mean missing a waypoint or losing track of fish arches. The A80579 addresses this with a robust USB-B right-angle to USB-A connection that hugs tight spaces behind your helm, preventing snags and wear from constant boat motion. At 16.5 feet, it offers ample reach for routing from your battery bank or power distribution panel without excess slack that could tangle lines.

Seamless Compatibility with Axiom XL Series

Precision-engineered for Axiom XL chart plotters, this black cable plugs right in without adapters or guesswork. Whether you're upgrading from older models or expanding your network with multiple displays, it supports the full power draw these advanced units require for vivid HybridTouch displays and fast processors. Boaters report seamless integration, powering up instantly to reveal detailed coastal charts or live AIS traffic.

Built for the Brutal Marine Environment

Raymarine's legacy in marine electronics shines through in the A80579's construction. Expect UV-resistant sheathing that shrugs off sun exposure, flexible strain relief to handle flexing during waves, and connectors that seal out moisture—key for longevity on open decks. It's not just a wire; it's a component proven in salt spray tests and heavy-use charters, outlasting bargain alternatives that crack or corrode after a single season.

Effortless Installation and Maintenance Tips

Installing the A80579 is straightforward: route it along existing wiring looms, secure with cable ties away from hot engines, and connect to a stable 12V source via USB-A. Pro tip—pair it with a marine-grade USB power supply for clean DC output, minimizing noise that could glitch your plotter's GPS lock. For upkeep, inspect connections seasonally for corrosion; a quick wipe with dielectric grease keeps it performing like new.
